The iPad that introduced 120Hz ProMotion.

Buying call

The 2017 10.5-inch iPad Pro debuted ProMotion: a 120Hz, 600-nit True Tone display at 2224x1668 that made scrolling and Pencil input feel instant. The A10X Fusion, 4GB of memory, four speakers and a 12MP optically stabilized camera with 4K video made it a powerhouse. It still uses Lightning, the first-gen Pencil charges awkwardly, and the software of its era held it back as a laptop replacement.
